Safari Overview

Witness the Great Migration, one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth, as millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Serengeti plains in search of fresh grazing. The highlight is the dramatic Mara River crossing, where thousands of animals plunge into crocodile-infested waters.

This seasonal safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The best time to see the river crossings is between July and October, when the herds gather in the northern Serengeti. Our expert guides position you for the best sightings.
